Thai-Style Green Beans

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...While our berries are a bust this year, I'm happy to report that most locally grown vegetables seem to have escaped the problems that have come with our strange summer weather. To wit, while they'll be late, there will be corn and tomato crops and bean bins in our green markets are already brimming with a harvest of green and gold. When such large quantities of vegetables are dumped in markets at one time, there are bargains to be found. I've blanched and frozen a bushel of beans that were purchased for pennies on the dollar and I've started searching for recipes that will allow me to serve fresh beans in new ways. I'm really happy that I found this one. It's a prize winner that was developed by Candy McMenamin, a cooking contest colleague, who has an impressive number of wins to her credit. Her beans are fast, easy and delicious and the recipe, written to serve two people, can easily be doubled. While they don't make a particularly pretty dish, the peanut sauce they are tossed with makes the beans wonderfully flavorful and I really think you'll enjoy them. Here's the recipe.

I am not fond of green beans but looking at your picture and readiang the ingredients make me want to try. Maybe I will look at green beans differently this time if I cook it your way? hmmm now I want to try.Happy weekend Mary!

Hi Mary! I am your newest follower. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment! Your blog is packed full of exquisite food photos and recipes. I love it and will be back by again for sure! Happy Weekend :)

Sounds - and looks - delicious! I love beans, but interesting recipes to really showcase their great flavour are few and far between! Scarlet Runner beans are my fave, although an heirloom variety - 'Lazy Housewife'- is pretty good too!

If Candy developed and you endorse it, this recipe must be delicious. My daughter's speciality is sauteed green beans with soy, garlic and green onion with mayo, sriracha and lime dipping sauce. I'll have to pass this recipe on to her to break things up a bit for her roommates.

It looks like they have a bit of a kick to them as well with the red pepper flakes. I have also been seeing tons of beans in the market and have been on the lookout for recipes. This is one to try for sure. Thanks, Mary!

Mary, thank you so much for stopping by my blog!! I enjoy yours as well, these green beans look amazing and all of your pictures make my stomach growl =] I am now a follower of your blog! I hope you stop back at mine =] Have a lovely day!
